Most young children spend every minute of every day having fun. They tend to play with their friends outside, play video games, or watch TV. However, there are also those who spend their free time working, just like the McBrides brothers, who are 12, 10, and 9 years old.
Believe it or not, Marcus, Travell and Marcelino have started their own business, the 3 Amigos Lawncare Service, and they are very good at what they do. So far, around 40 families from their home town Saginaw, Michigan, use their services regularly.
It all started when the oldest brother, Marcus, told his mother Terri Reed of his idea to set up a business and she loved it. “Marcus told me that he wanted to start his own business doing lawn care work,” Terri told Michigan Live. “So, the following day, I got up and I purchased all their equipment and their work clothes.”
The brothers gained the trust of their neighbors because they are hard-working and dedicated. What’s most, now that the summer comes to an end, they are planning on expanding the services they offer and tend to include clearing leaves and snow among the rest.
Mom Terri is extremely proud of her sons. She is an owner of a number of rental properties in the area and now that her boys saved enough money by working hard all summer, they put it into an investment property.
“They are enjoying it,” Terri said. “They have their weekly pay days and everything else goes into their business accounts.”
Great job, boys, we wish you a lot of success with your business in the future.
Pierce Brosnan has always been considered one of the most charming Hollywood celebrities. His acting talent along with his incredible looks helped him land roles in many outstanding movies, but that of special agent 007 is probably one of his most memorable.

In 2001, Brosnan tied the knot for the second time. He married gorgeous journalist Keely Shaye Smith. Four years before that, they welcomed son Dilan who is now 23 years old and is as attractive as his famous dad, if not more. The year they married, the couple welcomed their second son, Paris. Brosnan has three other children from his previous marriage with Cassandra Harris. Sadly, their daughter Charlotte died of ovarian cancer in 2013.
Dylan has always admired his father and his work and said that growing up with a famous dad didn’t feel strange. “Yeah, of course. I don’t think it was something that we focused on growing up, but it was awesome and very exciting to grow up on film sets and travel with him. It was such a great opportunity,” Dylan told Enquirer.
One would assume that a child of such a celebrity like Brosnan would follow into their parent’s footsteps, and that’s almost always true. In the case of Dylan and his dad, the young and ambitious man did take parts in some movies, including Out of Reach and the short film Iconic. Dylan was a production assistant for his parents’ 2017 documentary Poisoning Paradise.

Although he’s passionate about acting, it’s the fashion Dylan is mostly focused on. He’s a huge name in the world of modeling and has been working with brands like Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana and H&M. In 2015, this handsome young man made his runaway debut during the Men’s Fashion Week in Paris. In 2017, Dylan was on the cover of GQ Style Magazine in Germany. This year, he walked the catwalk for the Spring/Summer Moschino show.

In January 2020, both Dylan and his younger brother Paris made their dad extremely proud of them. The siblings were chosen to be Golden Globe Ambassadors for the Golden Globe Awards, which they both said was a huge honor.
“Dylan and Paris Brosnan have already achieved tremendous success in the fashion world and are following in their father’s footsteps in entertainment,” Lorenzo Soria, President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, said.
“We’re proud to honor our dad’s legacy as we join the incredible roster of previous Golden Globe Ambassadors, many of whom have gone on to pursue their own dreams in the entertainment industry,” Dylan said.

The two brothers used the opportunity to highlight the cause FEED, which provides nutritious meals to school-aged children around the world.
Despite being very successful in his chosen fields, Dylan graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts this year. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, he didn’t have a graduation ceremony, but that didn’t prevent him from celebrating with his family and the people he loves the most. His dad posted a photo of him wearing his graduation cap and wrote, “Congratulations Dylan on your graduation and academic achievements at USC School of Cinematic Arts. Go forth into this new world and make it your own. Be fearless, courageous and generous. Love, Dad.”
Dylan is a versatile man with many talents. Along his love for film and fashion, he is also the lead singer of the rock band “Raspberry Blond.” On top of that, young Dylan is an environment activist who does a lot for the nature. He was part of the 700 volunteers who planted 3,000 trees at the ranch.
Although he’s busy with his careers and causes, Dylan still finds the time for love.
He’s been dating girlfriend Avery Wheless for a few years. She could be seen on most of the family photos Brosnan and wife Kelly post on the social media. Speaking of how he sees love, Dylan says he learned it all from his parents and what the two have. “I think they have a lot of respect for each other and like what they do. They understand each other’s work ethics. If one of them needs space or time to figure something out that’s there.”
It’s safe to say that talent for a lot of things runs in the Brosnan family. With just 23, Dylan has already accomplished a lot in life and we are certain we will be hearing his name very often in the future because he has a lot to offer.
Do the movies from the 60’s and 70’s make you feel nostalgic for the good old times? If the answer is yes, then you definitely remember the onscreen love romance between Oliver Barrett and Jennifer “Jenny” Cavilleri. Barett, a heir of the family’s legacy, and Jenny, a girl from a working-class family, fell in love despite their differences and the many obstacles they faced. This movie was a huge hit and the American Film Institute ranked him 9th on the list of most romantic movies of all time. It is at the same time one of the highest-grossing films in the history of film.
Believe it or not, since Love Story was released, 50 years have passed.
The actors of the love story who put their hearts into depicting the emotions and the deep feelings between Oliver and Jenny are Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw. After Love Story, they instantly became America’s sweethearts.

O’Neal played in the soap opera Peyton Place before being part of one of the most memorable love movies, and his career went upwards after the role of Oliver for which he earned an Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations. Other movies he played in after Love Story are What’s Up, Doc?, Paper Moon, and the 1975 period drama film Barry Lyndon. His most recent TV appearance is that in Bones.

When his co-star Ali MacGraw got the role of Jenny, she was pretty much a new face on TV, but that didn’t prevent her from gaining enormous popularity.
In fact, a year before the film that earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama and an Academy Award nomination, she won the Golden Globe Award for Most Promising Newcomer for her role in the movie Goodbye, Columbus. Her beauty was, and still is, distinctive and mesmerizing. MacGraw appeared in a number of movies, including The Getaway, Convoy, Players, and the 1980 comedy Just Tell Me What You Want.

After that, stunning MacGraw, who married three times, tried to get away of the spotlight and has dedicated her time to being an animal advocate.
It was in 2016 when the legendary actors reunited again for the tourting production of the play Love Letters. However, although audiences and fans saw they reunite as actors, the two said that they have been close throughout the years and remained good friends ever since Love Story.
Now, MacGraw is 81, and O’Neal is 79. We are happy both actors are doing great nowadays and we are forever grateful to them for giving us the iconic movie Love Story and the classic line, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry!”
Take a look at the movie’s trailer in the video below.
There are over 7 billion people living on Earth, all beautiful in their own way. In fact, it is the diversity that makes this world as lovely as it is and accepting the differences is something we should all live by.
Asel and Kamila from Kazakhstan are two sisters who are 12 years apart. Their distinctive appearance steals the hearts of many. Both of them have albinism and look so stunning that they are now part of commercials by numerous companies and many modeling agencies from the country are interested in working with them.
Albinism is a genetic disorder that causes a lack of pigmentation in the skin, eyes and hair. Despite the unique looks, people with albinism may suffer from certain medical conditions such as vision defects and a sensitivity to sunlight.
When Asel was born, her parents were surprised by her skin color. No one in their family had albinism before so her mom, Aiman Sarkitova, told Daily Mail, “When I gave birth to my eldest, genetics were not so developed with us, it is developing only now.”
What was more shocking for the family is that their second daughter, Kamila, shares her sister’s condition. They also have an 8-year-old son who is dark-skinned, a real Kazhan.
Asel, who is now 14, started her modeling career at the age of 10, and today, she and 2-year-old Kamila make the perfect modeling duo. They have over 33,000 followers on Instagram and their popularity grows bigger and bigger with each passing day.
Albinism is rare and people who have it may sometimes feel different and alone, but these two sisters are happy to have each other and share their joys and even downfalls in life. We say they are truly stunning.
One of the many reasons why we all love watching the Olympics is because it is “crowded” with people who have been waiting their entire life to show the world how great they are at what they do and how hard they worked to earn a spot in one of the greatest sports events there are.
This year, among the rest, one particular event made many viewers sad. A horse named Saint Boy was being punched repeatedly by Germany modern pentatholon coach Kim Raisner. What’s most, she urged the rider Annika Schleu to “really hit” the horse if it refused to jump.
The incident was caught on camera and made many animal lovers angry. The Modern Pentathlon Federation (UIPM) disqualified Raisner from the individual competition and the remainder of the Olympic games.
“Her actions were deemed to be in violation of the UIPM Competition Rules, which are applied to all recognized Modern Pentathlon competitions including the Olympic Games,” they wrote in a statement.
Germany’s Olympic team chief, Alfons Hoermann, also spoke of the incident. As per Reuters, he said: “We were all in agreement that the coach will not be at the competition on Saturday. We also consider that an urgent review of the incident is necessary, especially in terms of animal protection, and that the national and international federations draw their conclusions.”
Among those who decided to stand for Saint Boy is actress Kaley Cuoco. The Big Bang Theory star is a huge horse lover and she and her husband Karl Cook actually own some of these elegant animals. In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the actress said: “I have six horses, and they have been the biggest blessing in my life. Horseback riding is why I’m so centered, especially in this business. I wouldn’t have my career without it.”

Cuoco decided to share her feelings regarding the disgraceful incident involving Saint Boy.
“I feel it’s my duty and heart to comment on this disgrace…This is not Olympic show jumping, ” she wrote according to 7News. “This is a disgusting, classless, abusive representation of our sport in so many ways. This team should be ashamed of themselves.
“You and your team did not do your county proud, or this sport. You make us look bad. Shame on you and godspeed to any animal that comes in contact with you.”
Her next move made many fell in love with her even further. Cuoco offered to buy Saint Boy. “I’ll buy that horse outright and show it the life it should have. Name your price,” she ended her post.
We are so thankful to Cuoco for making such an offer. We know the animal would end in the right hands if she welcomes him in.
Speaking of sci-fi movies, the first thing that comes to mind is Back to the Future. It is a legendary trilogy which is still as popular and as loved as it was over 30 years ago when the third and final part aired.
Of course, the movie wouldn’t be what it is hadn’t been for Michael J Fox who played the role of Marty and Christopher Lloyd in the role of Doc Brown.
But did you know that when he was first handed the script, Lloyd threw it in the garbage? Luckily, a friend of his made him reconsider his decision and give it a go, and well, the rest is history.

Christopher Lloyd’s first love what the theater. At the age of 19, he started taking classes in New York City’s Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theater under Actor Sanford Meisner. Speaking of those times, Lloyd told Irish Times: ”I had a wonderful teacher. I had really figured out how to use myself technically as an actor. It changed my life forever. [Meisner] was an extraordinary teacher. He made it clear to me how to work as an actor and how to prepare for a role. It was a big turning point for me.”
Lloyd’s first ever stage debut was in a production of And They Put Handcuffs on the Flowers. What followed was his first Broadway appearance in Red, White and Maddox.

Many productions later, Lloyd decided to turn to the film industry and one particular movie helped kickstart his career; One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, where he played psychiatric patient Max Taber and starred alongside his idol Jack Nicholson.
“I did so many interviews and auditions for films and it was just zilch. Nothing I did impressed anybody! I could just feel it. It was always ‘Okay, thank you, Mr. Lloyd.’
“Then out of the blue Cuckoo’s Nest came to cast. A casting director who sent me up for different things over the years sent me up for that and it just clicked. I was blown away, just so excited,” Lloyd said.
“Nicholson was an idol of mine going back to Five Easy Pieces, Easy Rider, and The Last Detail,” he added. “It just blew my mind, suddenly to be on a set with his presence, and him there, it was wonderful.”
Speaking of the time he was offered the iconic role of Dr. Emmett Brown, Lloyd shared with Sydney Morning Herald: “At the same time I was doing a film in Mexico City and I decided I was going to go back to New York and go back to the theatre where my roots were.
“So when the Back to the Future script came to me I had pretty much made up my mind I was going back to New York and I cast it aside. A friend I was with at the time said that’s not like me, so I thought I’d better take it out of the waste paper basket and have another look. And I did and went back to LA and met Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future director) and that was that.”
Initially, Doc Brown was imagined as a calm and reserved person, but Lloyd decided to do things differently with the role that changed his life and career forever.
The movie was a huge success. It made millions and people fell in love with it so much that action figures, legos, and toys of Doc and Marty flooded the stores.
“I’m an animated [action figure], and yeah, I’m a LEGO. I don’t think I’m immortalized,” Lloyd said. “Well, there you are, a hundred years from now somebody will be rummaging around the attic [and say], ‘Oh, look what I got! Doc Brown!’”
Back to the Future went on to have two sequels which were as popular as the original. Asked which one he loves the most, Lloyd says the third.
“There was horseback riding, which was a lot of fun,” he wrote. “There was the steam engine, to be on, work on, which is quite an experience. And Doc had a romance!”
Despite Lloyd’s enormous popularity, he tends to keep his private life out of the spotlight and says he’s always in for another Back to the Future movie as long as his friend of many years, Michael J. Fox, is part of it. “I think regardless of the Parkinson’s, he’d probably jump on the role and he’d be great,” Lloyd said. “I can’t see doing another sequel without him, I would certainly want Bob Zemeckis directing it, Bob Gale writing it and the other principals being involved.”

Over the years, Lloyd starred in a huge number of movies, including TheAddams Family, where he played Uncle Fester, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the comedy Clue, and a lot more.
At the age of 82, Lloyd doesn’t plan on quitting doing what he fulfills him; acting. “I don’t really mind as long as I’m working,” he said. “Whether it’s a lead or cameos, or supporting roles, I love to be doing it. I don’t wait around for the ideal role to come my way – I’ll take what’s given,” he said.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith met on the set of Fresh Prince of Bell-Air back in 1990. After a few years of dating, they tied the knot in 1997, and despite their ups and downs over the years, they are still going strong.
Will and Jada have two children together, son Jaden and daughter Willow, who both follow into their famous parents’ footsteps.
Willow has spend her entire life around music. She started singing from very young age and recorded her first ever song when she was just 7, during a trip to China where her brother was filming Karate Kid.

She recalls the time she told her parents that music was her calling.
“I brought it to my parents, I remember being so excited going, ‘Guys, I really think this is what I wanna do. I really think I want to sing.’ And the first thing that they said to me was, ‘Are you sure?,’” she revealed.
“And I was like, ‘Yeah. I’m sure.’ And they said, ‘Okay, we just want to make sure because it’s going to be a lot of work. We just want you to know that you’re really young. And most of the people who do this are much older than you, and you have to handle a lot more pressure.’
“They told me right off the bat. I was so young that I just didn’t really believe them. And lo and behold, I got to a place where it was just too much. I just needed to take a step back and figure out what I wanted to do.”

In 2020, Willow released her single Whip My Hair which reached No. 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. Although she experienced an enormous success, she was just 10 years old at the time and it was too much pressure to go on tours and promote her music. Willow announced a 30-day tour but after a few performances, she felt like it was enough. Her dad tried to persuade her to continue, but she just wanted to go home.
After that, Willow shaved her head and Will believed it was her way of protesting.
“This little girl is rejecting what I’m trying to do for her. She doesn’t want it,” Will said on Red Table Talk, a podcast hosted by Willow, her mother Jada Pinkett-Smith and her grandmother Adrienne.
“My desire for her was overriding her desire for her. I had a real epiphany on that, and how bad a person will hate you if you keep forcing your wishes onto their life,” he added.
“She introduced me to feelings… With Willow, I started to see how there was a higher value in talking to her about how she feels about the situation versus how to fix the situation. It became the new thought process for me. Kids aren’t ours. They are their own people. I just completely let go of my needs and my desires for their lives.”
Now, at the age of 20, Willow is a very successful singer. She released her 4th solo album lately I feel EVERYTHING. Recently, she decided to open up about her sexuality and shared with the world that she is bisexual and polyamorous.
On her podcast, she said: “With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you and not just stepping into monogamy because that’s what everyone around you says is the right thing to do.
“Also, doing research into polyamory,” she added, “the main [reason] …why divorces happen is infidelity.”
Her grandma Adrienne made a comment that it was all about the sex, but Willow certainly doesn’t feel that way.
“In my friend group, I’m the only polyamorous person. And I have the least sex out of all of my friends,” Willow said on Red Table Talk.
“I was introduced to [polyamory] in a nonsexual way,” she added. “Let’s say you haven’t always been the kind of person that wanted to have sex all the time but your partner is. Are you going to be the person that says, ‘just because I don’t have these needs you can’t have them either?’”
A young child lost her life due to her mother’s negligence. Asiah, who was only 20 months old at the time of her death, died of starvation after she was left home all by herself while her mother was celebrating her birthday in places 50 miles away from Brighton where the baby girl lived. The mother, then 18-year-old Verphy Kudi, and the baby girl were living in a ‘supported housing’ block for young families run by the YMCA on behalf of Brighton and Hove City Council, as per The Sun.
The tragedy took place in December 2019, and this month, Kudi was charged with manslaughter of her daughter and given nine years in prison.
The mother admitted she was guilty and broke down at the courtroom upon hearing her sentence.
After partying away from home for nearly 6 days, Kudi got back home to find her daughter unresponsive. She was the one who called the emergency services, but it was already too late. The girl was dead.
When authorities arrived at the scene, they saw Kudi “incoherent, distressed and distraught” while her daughter was lying on the floor.
Photos show Kudi partying in London with her boyfriend and then heading to south-east London where she had a DJ announce her birthday. After that, she went to Coventry to have some more fun and celebrate her birthday with her friends before she got back home to her daughter after five days, 21 hours, and 58 minutes.
According to BBC, Judge Christine Laing QC said in court: “It is almost unbearable to contemplate her suffering in the final days of her life, suffering that she endured so that you could celebrate your birthday and the birthdays of your friends as a carefree teenager,” describing Kudi as deceitful and manipulative. “You knew full well you should not be doing what you were doing,” the judge was reported to have added.
“It goes without saying that this is a particularly tragic case and it no doubt raises strong emotions in all who hear of it, but everyone should bear in mind that the charge I sentence you for is one of manslaughter, it being accepted that you did not intend to cause Asiah death nor to cause her really serious harm,” the judge stated.
Kudi’s estranged family explained that she became pregnant after she fell victim of sexual exploitation. They released a statement which read: “We are saddened by the current situation and as a family, we have many unanswered questions. Verphy has experienced so much at such a young age and we have always done what we can to support her. As a family, we are in the midst of an unbearable tragedy,” as reported by The Sun.
I’m sympathetic towards #VerphyKudi because her age at the time of the unfortunate incident and she was at a mother and care unit RAN BY A CHARITY. They are just as responsible. And if I remember her story correctly she was went missing in her mid teens…SHE NEEDS COUNSELLING
— Versatile Onochie-Obayuwana (@RealVersatile) August 6, 2021
We are so very sorry for little Asiah, she deserved to be loved and cared for. May she rest in peace.
